Toyota Drivers Battle Hard at Talladega

Toyota Drivers Battle Hard at Talladega

It was a day of unpredictability Sunday afternoon for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series visit to Talladega Superspeedway, but through the battle, Kyle Busch was able to continue his top-10 streak for every Cup Series race this season.

With a new package on display and a wicker on the spoiler, Busch fought hard and it was a caution on the white-flag lap that ended the race early with Busch finishing ninth. It looked like the No. 18 driver would have a shot at victory on a late race restart from the second spot, but things didn’t work in his favor. “We restarted outside front row and I thought the 1 (Kurt Busch) behind me would want to race for the win and not just fall in line behind Fords and in front of Chevrolets and he would go with us a little bit there. Team order prevailed I guess.” His Toyota teammates didn’t have the same luck as the Las Vegas native, all being involved in separate incidents during the 500-mile race.
